I have been havibg issues with my call stalling and fuel leakage fpr awhile now and while checking the website for recalls I noticed there were 4 recalls on my car. When called to try and have the recalls fixed, I was told that my cars VIN wasn't on the list for any recalls. But the issues described in the recall is the exact issue I have been experiencing fir the last year or so. Why not let me bring the car in to be checked and if the issue my car is having is the parts on the recall list, just replace them. But no not gm, they refused to even look at the car. So disappointed in gm, especially since I just bought another gm vehicle. Looking in to replacing it now.

The vehicle has seemed to stall twice. Upon further discussion with the driver, the steering also locked. This seemed similar of the same as the gm recall for faulty ignition switches and key slots. Pontiac was contacted but the response was that the vehicle was not under a recall, was out of warranty, and that repairs would be the expense of the owner. Pontiac did not seem concerned about a potential extension of the gm recall list. Wouldn't you think that gm would be very interested in understanding if the pontiac aztek is affected. We are now very concerned about driving the pontiac aztek.

My aztek started to sputtering one morning, bringing my car to a stop. The car stalled and I would have to restart. It seemed like I couldn't go over 40 MPH. It's just kept hiccuping. I took it to a mechanic and got a new fuel and air filter. Still having problems, I replaced the idle air control valve. That didn't fix the problem. My car continued to get worse and couldn't even get anywhere. Took it to have the catalytic converter replaced, and it ran ok for about two weeks then it began to do it again. Took it back to the shop, and diagnostics read that it needed a new o2 sensor. So I replaced that and it seems like it has only gotten worse. The shop that replaced the converter and o2 sensor spent 6 hours or labor trying to find the root of the problem and they couldn't figure it out; and refused to replace anything else because they were uncomfortable with charging me more money and the car not getting fixed.this morning (about a little over a month this all started) I tried to make it into town where I could take it to another shop, and my car completely gave up. The key wouldn't even turn over. So that has racked me up a nice towing bill. Over 1000 doll as s in the last month, and my car is completely dead. Seems like my problem is the same as everyone else's on the internet with an aztek.

Aztek is 5 yrs old 70,000 miles. Have had problems with stalling after the first few months (was bought brand new!) couldn't find any problem! 9/4/08 was driving late from a game and broke down in the middle of the highway. Had diagnostic done - misfire in cylinder 6. Took it to dealer - costing me $4000 to fix! Needs 2 new heads!!!!
